Practical guides to choosing a time, adjusting effort and getting dressed for the conditions.
Running in cold weather: layers, wind and ice
Check wind chill and footing, then choose adjustable layers for warmth and outer protection. On exposed trails, plan for stops and a shorter way home.
What to wear running in the rain
Start with familiar light running clothes for a warm shower. In cold rain, consider an adjustable outer layer and dry clothes at the finish. Check thunder, flooding and footing before leaving.
WeatherToRun turns the hourly forecast into running scores, recommended start times and clothing suggestions. Your running profile and layering preferences help tailor the guidance, so you can compare the hours you can use and choose what to wear.
The score blends temperature, dew point, wind, precipitation, and UV based on how much they affect running performance and comfort. It also applies stronger penalties for hazardous conditions like thunderstorms, snow, freezing rain, and severe wind.
Gear recommendations factor in temperature, conditions, and your preferences. Recommendations are based on real running scenarios and runner feedback.
Core hourly scores and clothing guidance are free, with no ads or account required. The Apple app offers optional Plus for more saved places, recurring schedules, custom reminder times, additional widgets and Apple Watch access.
The web version is a preview with a 4-day forecast, hourly running scores and clothing guidance. Download the iPhone app for the full experience and forecasts up to 10 days ahead.
WeatherToRun is available on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 18 or later, and on compatible Macs. The app adds planning and widgets on top of the same hourly run scores and gear picks:
- Hour-by-hour run scores from temperature, wind, dew point, rain, and UV
- Tap-through gear stickers with what to wear each hour
- Runs tab for upcoming and past sessions, swipe to edit or delete
- Home and Lock Screen widgets for your best run times
- Daily reminder at your chosen time
Choose Plus to set recurring runs and a custom daily reminder time, save up to 10 locations instead of 3, or check hourly outlooks and saved runs in richer widgets. It also brings your best and next running times to Apple Watch. Hourly running scores and clothing suggestions remain free, with no ads or account required. Plus is an optional subscription inside the app.
